chippe01 23rd Jul 2016		78 RPM Teresa Brewer - Skinnie Minnie (Fish Tail) / I Had Someone Else Before I Had You (And I'll Have Someone After You're Gone) (1954)	Review Skinnie Minnie (Fish Tail): What an amazing song! A great up-tempo, danceable track which sounds absolutely fabulous. However, there is an apparent lack of bass. Still, it's a very catchy tune beautifully sung by Teresa Brewer. It's a kind of rock-n-roll / Jazz hybrid. I Had Someone Else: What a LONG title! This is a nice ballad, again, beautifully sung. As a side note: This record, along with another Teresa Brewer Promo record came as throw away discs to protect another disc I ordered on ebay. They were both sticky and terribly dirty and hardly playable. I scrubbed both discs with a sponge and a little dish soap and water and air dried in front of a fan. The difference was amazing. These discs play perfectly, with no scratches or pops, and very little crackle. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
chippe01 1st Jul 2016		78 RPM LaVern Baker And The Gliders - Tweedlee Dee / Tomorrow Night (1954)	Review Both sides are good, but I love Tweedle Dee. It's a great R & B tune. I'm so glad to own a decent 78 copy. 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
chippe01 2nd Jun 2016		78 RPM Arthur Godfrey - Too Fat Polka (I Don't Want Her) (You Can Have Her) (She's Too Fat For Me) / For Me And My Gal (1947)	Review I've had this 78 for many years, since I was a child (I'm now 53) I always loved this song, but it played pretty lousy. However, since I bought a new turntable and a dedicated mono 78 cartridge, it sounds 100 times better than I remember. Lots of ticks, but pretty clear throughout. I LOVE this song. SOOO politically incorrect in this day and age - that what makes it even better! :) 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
